DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Growing asthma prevalence and hospitalization rates of preschool children (ages 3-5) signal a major public health problem that requires early intervention. Evidence of health disparities and unequal treatment among low-income, urban, minority preschoolers with asthma underscores the need to develop culturally sensitive asthma interventions in community-based programs, such as Head Start, that work with high risk preschool children and their families. All of the family caregivers and child care providers who work with preschoolers need to know how to prevent and manage asthma episodes, yet little is known about the informational needs of ethnic minority parents of preschoolers with asthma or child care providers in different settings. Because preschoolers must rely on caregivers in different settings to help them manage their asthma, an ecological approach to asthma management guides this study. Using a participatory action research methodology, the investigators will partner with parents who have preschoolers with asthma and are enrolled in Ramsey Action Program (RAP) Head Start programs in St. Paul, Minnesota and Head Start staff to develop an action plan to address parent- and staff-identified needs. The short-term goals of this pilot project are: 1) to determine the asthma information and resource needs of parents from ethnically diverse backgrounds and Head Start staff who care for preschoolers, and 2) to determine the feasibility of providing culturally sensitive, web-based asthma education to Head Start parents and staff by designing and evaluating a preliminary asthma information web site for Head Start based on identified needs. The long-term plan is to develop a multi-media, web-based asthma education program for parents and staff in urban and rural Head Start programs in Minnesota.

描述（由申请人提供）：学龄前儿童的哮喘患病率和住院率（3-5岁）表明需要早期干预的主要公共卫生问题。哮喘的低收入，城市，少数族裔学龄前儿童中健康差异和不平等治疗的证据强调，需要在基于社区的计划（例如HEAD开始）中发展具有文化敏感的哮喘干预措施，例如与高风险的学龄前儿童及其家人一起工作。与学龄前儿童一起工作的所有家庭护理人员和儿童保育提供者都需要知道如何预防和管理哮喘发作，但是对于在不同情况下，有哮喘或育儿提供者的少数民族父母的信息需求知之甚少。由于学龄前儿童必须依靠不同环境中的看护人来帮助他们管理哮喘，因此哮喘管理的一种生态学方法指导了这项研究。研究人员使用参与式行动研究方法，将与患有哮喘的学龄前儿童并参加Ramsey Action计划（RAP）Head Start计划的父母合作，在明尼苏达州的圣保罗和首席启动工作人员制定了一项行动计划，以满足父母和员工认同的需求。该试点项目的短期目标是：1）确定来自种族多元化背景的父母的哮喘信息和资源需求，以及关心学龄前儿童的主管，以及2））确定基于文化敏感的，基于Web的哮喘教育的可行性，以通过为您提供基于Asthma Asthma信息的需求，以提供基于网络的父母和员工，以识别良好的需求。长期计划是针对城市和农村负责人的父母和员工制定多媒体，基于网络的哮喘教育计划 在明尼苏达州启动计划。
